Hey ANdy,I probably should have said the Slim Devices Squeezebox...
Anyhow, I am SOOOOO glad I never got into vinyl. Sure, it can sound great, maybe even better, but man would my system suck if I had done that. My amp and speakers are about $5k. Imagine if I had to split that up between a pre-amp, a phono pre amp, more interconnects, an actual audio rack, cleaning machines, storage for the damn albums....
No active crossovers for Dawnrazor, no room correction, no changing songs at a whim, crappy amps, probably no sub, etc. Waf would go way down.
Hell, just buying music would be a challenge. You can barely find stores that have the crap I listen to let alone the vinyl of it. (I had to go to disney world to find the latest Fields of the Nephilim CD...I don't even think they put it out on vinyl). I surely don't want to be hanging around the college record stores looking for used copies of the Sisters of Mercy Floodland....
I do agree with Linn's "SOurce First" dogma, and that is why I chose a PC based system...and so did they.
I am looking to see if they make a plug in for Foobar that replicates album hiss and needle thumps :)
